[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #44720] edit.m: Fails to open protected file if ~/octave does not exist

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #44720 (project octave):

@Rik: make sure you don't have write permissions on hadamard.m, and also make
sure that you don't have a ~/octave directory.


$ chmod a-w
/opt/gnu/octave/share/octave/4.0.0-rc2/m/special-matrix/hadamard.m
$ rm -rf /tmp/homedir
$ mkdir /tmp/homedir
$ HOME=/tmp/homedir octave -qf --no-gui-libs
octave:1> edit mode sync
octave:2> edit hadamard
cp: cannot create regular file ‘/tmp/homedir/octave/hadamard.m’: No such
file or directory
## and vim is started with an empty buffer ~/octave/hadamard.m
## trying to save that buffer in vim results in
## Can't open file for writing
